Hiv Risk and other questions....

[todd30]

I'm a gay male who recieved anal sex once with a condom about 9 years ago, I did not like it and was tested a year after with a neg, I stuck to oral sex and ask partners their status, I then tested again 3 years later with a neg. I was told by the test giver that I had no risk of hiv. I stopped getting tested after hearing them say that.  Five years later I have still been sticking to oral sex with no ejaculation. I was checking the websight of the place where I was tested and now they are claiming Oral sex to be risky. They lump it together with anal/vag sex!

In five years I have probably had oral sex 15 times with no ejaculation!

Questions
1. What is hiv risk?

2. Is 'the body' web sight full of crap?  The reason i ask this question is they have things posted on that websight that are crazy wierd about stds and testing failures and false negs and all sorts of absurd things. And if you notice that websight is PLASTERD in hiv med ads! Almost like they are run buy the drug companys.

3. Over the past five years I have had 3 normal CBC tests and A normal liver function test. Could that indicate normal cd4 counts?

5. What are the most common stds among gay men, Crabs? Siph? herps? The body seems to jump str8 to HIV.

6. I have never had any stds before. Is 15 times in 5 years alot? I'm I a ho?

7. will the lakers take the play offs this year?

God bless.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?  
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort).  DR. HOOK
